Custom PrimalSense Lists<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe new customizable PrimalSense feature allows users to tailor their PrimalSense experience. The contents of the custom PrimalSense can be derived from a static list or from a dynamically created list using a PowerShell script.<\/p>\n
These custom PrimalSense lists can be triggered via a shortcut name, similar to snippet shortcuts. For example, if you type the following shortcut:<\/p>\n
![\"image\"](\"https:\/\/www.sapien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/image-2.png\" "\\"image\\"")
<\/p>\n
To display the custom PrimalSense list, press [Ctrl + Alt + P] or [TAB].<\/p>\n
![\"image\"](\"https:\/\/www.sapien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/image_thumb-1.png\" "\\"image\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nThe shortcut will be replaced with the selected item in the PrimalSense list.<\/p>\n
![\"image\"](\"https:\/\/www.sapien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/image-4.png\" "\\"image\\"")
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In addition, custom PrimalSense lists can be triggered by typing a particular cmdlet \/ parameter combination or a specific parameter regardless of command.<\/p>\n
![\"image\"](\"https:\/\/www.sapien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/image_thumb-2.png\" "\\"image\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nThe custom list in this case is triggered when the user presses [SPACE] after typing the Name<\/strong> parameter of Get-Process<\/strong>.<\/p>\nLet’s look at the types of lists in more detail.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Static Lists<\/strong><\/h3>\nStatic lists are the simplest method for creating a custom PrimalSense list. These lists are simply read from a static data file source, such as a CSV file, when the list is triggered. Let\u2019s look at the supported data file formats.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Data File Formats<\/strong><\/h3>\nThere are two supported data file formats: CSV and XML files.<\/p>\n
CSV Format<\/strong><\/p>\nThe CSV is the simplest format. It can consist of simple list where there can only be one list item per line.<\/p>\n
For example, GetProcess_Name.csv data file contains the following:<\/p>\n
![\"image\"](\"https:\/\/www.sapien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/image_thumb-3.png\" "\\"image\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nNote: Since this is a CSV file format, you must escape double quotes using another double quote “”.<\/em><\/p>\nYou have the option to associate each item with a pre-defined picture (via index) and a value using the following format:<\/p>\n
Name, Index, Value<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n- Name<\/strong> \u2013 This is the text displayed in the PrimalSense list.<\/li>\n
- Index<\/strong> \u2013 (Optional) The numeric index of the image you that will be displayed next to the name in the PrimalSense list. Use \u20131 if you do not wish to associate an image. See below for a list of image indexes.<\/li>\n
- Value<\/strong> \u2013 (Optional) The value that is inserted into the editor when the item is selected from the PrimalSense list.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
Here is an example csv that uses images and values:<\/p>\n
![\"image\"](\"https:\/\/www.sapien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/image-7.png\" "\\"image\\"")
<\/p>\n
The resulting PrimalSense list:<\/p>\n
![\"image\"](\"https:\/\/www.sapien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/image-8.png\" "\\"image\\"")
<\/p>\n
The inserted value:<\/p>\n
![\"image\"](\"https:\/\/www.sapien.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/image_thumb-4.png\" "\\"image\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\nThe following table contains the list of supported image indexes:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nThe shortcut will be replaced with the selected item in the PrimalSense list.<\/p>\n
